SCOTLAND TO FACE ARGENTINA

The Argentina rugby team is set to face Scotland at Wellington after it was revealed today by top officials. The teams will now meet in the New Zealand capital city on 25 September, while England will play their pool matches against Argentina (10 September) and Georgia (18 September) in Dunedin, at the city’s new 30,000-seat stadium

Five pool matches and two quarter-finals were moved from Christchurch after last month’s earthquake, which killed at least 166 people. Australia will play Italy at Auckland’s North Harbour Stadium on 11 September and Russia at Nelson on 1 October. Tournament organisers have yet to confirm the media reports of the new venues.
